Best available options for the Raiders in Round 2

After beginning the process of turning around a defense that ranked No. 26 overall in 2016 in Round 1 with the selection of former Buckeyes cornerback Gareon Conley, Oakland Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie should look to continue to bolster his defensive corps.

Here is a look at some of the best available options left for the Raiders as they get set to select with pick No. 56 overall in Round 2 of the 2017 NFL draft in Philadelphia.

Zach Cunningham, LB, Vanderbilt

Former Vanderbilt linebacker Zach Cunningham is athletic, smart, a good tackler should be an impact player in the middle of the Raiders defense should McKenzie be fortunate enough to see him slide to him at No. 56 overall.

Budda Baker, S, Washington

NFL Network’s Mike Mayock’s top-rated nickel cornerback could step right into Oakland’s secondary and provide an answer in the slot. With Conley possessing the type of skills that can be used as a No. 1 defensive back, the former Huskie and Buckeye could provide a scary tandem for years to come.
